I've used Leitz projectors for many years. The first was a Prado 500 and I had two -- for stereo projection. The one I have now is a Pradovit Color 2 and its very good. There is a selection of excellent lenses -- about fifteen of them including a couple of zooms. If you have the money get a Leitz -- you'll be impressed by the sharp clear pictures. If you were using 6x6 I'd recommend Rollei. I have one of those as well, a Rolleivision 66 AV and there are few, if any, better.
